Happy birthday, EHP! We're not actually that surrpised that Ella is five- she's seemed all grown up for a while now, and it's hard to remember a time when she wasn't around. We ARE surprised- pleasantly so- that Ella is absolutely brilliant, fun to be around, interesting, quirky, flexible, and the best big sister ever. We celebrated on Friday with doughnuts at school and a flaming poo-poo platter at the Chinese place (thanks, Josh and Rachel, for joining us!), and had a throwdown 5-year-old party this afternoon complete with BOTH uncles and a menacing shark pinata and cake. Off to a good start.
